Default LS1 Trans Am vs. Formula

My question is why there are more Formulas used as opposed to Trans Am's. I understand that the Formula is lighter and it is available in a hardtop version but the Trans Am is able to run in D/SA where as the Formula isn't. The reason I ask is because I have a Trans Am and would like to make it into a stocker. I bracket raced it for a couple years and won a couple track championships with it. I'm thinking I could run C/SA(Ram Air) or D/SA (no Ram Air). I am new to classracer.com but I have learned more about class racing in the couple days I've been on the site than I probably could in a year without it.

I also run a Convertible WS6 in Super Stock. The car is a little heavy, but we have had a blast with it so far. Haven't run the new setup, but overall the car is deadly and has always hooked VERY good.

Last year was my first year of Class Racing and I am HOOKED! I never want to go back to heads up racing, or a .400 pro tree...
